Starting Suppliments
Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2017 5:36 pm
Hi there,
I'm 26 and had been waiting in excitement for my 23andme results for the past 6 weeks. I just opened them and, like many of you, found out I have the dreaded e4/e4. Which brings me to the forum.
I have been pretty much following the Med. diet for the the past year, originally to shed a few excess pounds, but now couldn't imagine eating any other way (with recent news even more so!) With what I have been reading I will make a few adjustments but diet wise I should be ok.
I do I mixture of strength and HIIT four times a week and I am active (on my feet) most of the day at work.
However, I have been trawling though a lot of the forum trying to figure out what would be a good base of daily supplements and have narrowed it down to the following:
Curcumin/Turmeric (with black pepper) 1000-1500mg, Vitamin D3 5000iu, Magnesium Citrate 200-300mg & Vitamin C 2000mg
I would like to know what you guys think about the above supplements and if you have any other recommendations. One thing I am really unsure about is Curcumin/Tumeric. What's the deal? Are both commonly found in the same supplement? Can you have one without the other?
Got the news on Friday so had the weekend to feel sorry for myself and google new words like "APOE" "homozygote". Was gutted to find out at first but if anything it's going to be great motivation to live a healthy lifestyle and I'm glad I know now.
Gonna beat this!
Thanks in advance
